We chose this cruise to travel with friends who are disabled seniors ; the line advertises many handicap accessible excursions. NOT! Only one stop could accommodate a wheel chair rolling off; other stops required being carried in a wheelchair down two very steep outdoor flights of stairs that were very frightening, especially slick and wet. Also, the elevator to the upper decks was out most of the trip, so our friends could not join us in the spa, library, observation deck, etc. Disembarkation was terrible in the end because they would not help us off the ramp (apparently a union issue) and there were high thresholds to navigate.

The ship decor was very dated; definitely in need of a refresh, especially to clean the carpets in public areas. The room was spacious and had good lighting. The deck chairs were not comfortable at all; not a lounge where you could lie and enjoy the sea. The TV had very limited selections and no live streaming/channels carried the World Series. Many cruisers were grumbling about this! Internet service in the cabin was pretty good, but in this day and age, for this price cruise, it's pretty insulting to have to pay for it as an add on. The toilets in a nearby cabin overflowed several times leaving the smell of urine in the hall despite the best efforts of the crew to clean up.

The personal butler was the only highlight of the trip. Service was professional, friendly, and prompt. We often chose to have dinner as room service because dinner in the restaurants took a minimum of two hours, but room service was prompt. The food was good and plentiful, but pretty much as expected on a cruise, nothing outstanding. Read more
